How Do You Get Paid?
I have the bestest fans. A dear soul has sent me an invaluable resource of Roman Republican coinage. Not actual coins, duh, but an online collection of images of Mid-to-Late Republic coins – Rutgers University Badian Collection.
The collection covers roughly 280 to 31 BCE, and is comprised of about 1,200 coins. Each entry is detailed and tagged, making it easy to search specific elements and images, and to explore themes. This makes it very exciting for anyone trying to bring up Roma...

If you look online, you can buy uncleaned Roman coins for just a few bucks. The coins themselves are usually worthless, very late and made of poor quality bronze (sized AE 3 - 4). They are usually very common coins but sometimes you get something different and interesting. The real fun is in cleaning them and seeing what you found, then researching what the coins are. I used to buy them for history classes to clean.
